Belles du Sud Syrah-Grenache
IGP Pays d'Oc
Belles du Sud is the anchorage, the bedrock of today's Auriol company. The majestic Fontaine des Trois Grâces adorns the Place de L'Oeuf in Montpellier. The refreshing fountain is decorated with Roman nudes, their shoulders bearing symbols of opulence: baskets of grapes and amphora. You will find such fountains in all the towns of the Mediterranean perimeter: it is a typical characteristic of local architecture. These should remind you of our values and the symbolic corpus of our history: the Mediterranean identity, the Roman impact on the civilization of Wine, wine as an integral part of our culture and economy. Wine as Art, or failing that, the Art of Living!
Grenache Syrah
10-12°C
The vineyards are located along the Mediterranean coastline, in the Béziers area. They enjoy a dry, hot climate which promotes development of aromas in the grapes during ripening, producing a range of wines with varied profiles.
The greatest care is taken with vineyard management and the health of the fruit. The vines are trained using the Cordon de Royat and Guyot systems. Irrigation allows ripening to be managed and promotes balance in the wines.
The grapes are picked by hand, destemmed and go straight to press in a pneumatic press in a protected atmosphere. Fermentation is gentle, at low temperatures of 12-16°C and lasts for around two weeks. Some of the solids are reintegrated at the end of the winemaking process to add balance and aroma.
The perfect match for light, modern and fun-filled cuisine.
Brilliant pinkish hue with purple tints. Persistent aromatic nose of boiled sweets. Notes of stewed fruits and crushed red fruits. Fresh, aromatic and long-lasting palate. Drink young, within the first 18 months after bottling.
